PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  10/26/24 
   
Featured track  Keeneland  
   
Race number  10 
   
Race overview  A deep and competitive 150k MCL for 2yos at 6Fs. 
   
Pace  You have to figure things will be heated up front, as it’s a full field, with several MSW droppers as well, which all suggests it will be a crowded car early on. 
   
Trends  The main track continues to play fair, with winners coming from everywhere, and last week it even seemed to tilt towards off-the-pace runners a little bit. 
   
Best Play  #2 TOM CAT TUESDAY (6-1): MSW dropper didn’t break all that well on debut then passed a few to be a middling 7th, but Casse rarely wins at first-asking yet is a 20% second-out maiden trainer, which suggests this was the plan all along. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. 
   
Play of the Day Winners  Kee POD: 12-3-1-1 ($1.55/$3.90 through 10/20)
